Praktik - København

Are you interested in gaining experience in the humanitarian sector with one of the world’s largest NGOs? Then, you might be our new intern next Fall semester.

Who are we?

The Civil Society Engagement Unit (CSEU) considers civil society a key driver of change. For this reason, we work closely with them at headquarters, providing strategic, analytical and operational support to their engagement at local, regional and transnational levels relevant to all DRC-operations. At the CSEU we also implement global civil society engagement projects and spearheads the DRC's long-standing engagement with diaspora communities across Europe.

Why diaspora communities?

Since 2010, DRC engaged directly with different diaspora actors to facilitate and strengthen their constructive engagement in countries of origin, transit and residence. We believe that diaspora actors are vital in humanitarian assistance, recovery and development in their countries of origin. In most cases, they also play a critical role in both resilience strategies and community first response measures, as they have the capacity to rapidly mobilise assistance, channel information and advocate in times of crisis. Currently, the Diaspora Programme within the Civil Society Engagement Unit hosts five different projects, touching on several thematic areas and across multiple geographies, such as Afghanistan, Somalia, Ukraine, etc. Find out more here
